More on that Work Thing I do

Boss Lady was practically kissing my feet today. I can't even count the # of times that she said she missed me & was glad that I was back. I tactfully (for me) queried her on the 'it seems like they don't get along' comment my friend relayed from her reference call with Planned Parenthood. Boss Lady said that she's not sure how Planned Parenthood got that impression, because she hardly said anything. She said that Planned Parenthood kept asking her for personal details about me, and right away asked her why I was leaving. She told them that she wasn't comfortable with that line of questioning, and wasn't going to answer. However, she did say that I was eligible for re-hire.....which is interesting, because #1 - she always refuses to answer that questions & #2 - we pretty much have a 'no re-hire' policy unless it's former employees who left to go back to school. Rik emailed me later in the day & told me that Planned Parenthood called & wants me to come in this week to talk to their Chief Operations Officer..... I called them back & politely informed them that I had been given reason to re-consider my decision, and that I was no longer interested in a position with them. They seemed very surprised. I mentioned that since I had not heard back from them after Wednesday, that I assumed they weren't interested. They said that 'we wanted to call you Friday, but we weren't sure where things were going.' So I fudged a bit & said that when I came in this morning, my boss, the CEO & I had a lengthy meeting regarding my future with the company....and that many of my reasons for wanting to move on had been addressed. (truth is more closer to, a series of talks that occurred directly after I let my boss know I was looking for a new job 3 weeks ago.....) Planned Parenthood said that if I changed my mind....they'd really like me to come in this week for the interview with the COO. I told Boss Lady about my final decision & she just had a huge smile on her face and said 'I'm so happy that you're staying, I could just hug you'. So.....my decision now is to just wait things out another few months....and around October/November re-evaluate things & see how I feel.
